Of course not. Invention is the mother of necessity. The same is true with email, SMS text messaging, even the Web connection. I shudder to even think of being cut off from the Web for an hour, let alone a day or longer. Perish the thought.
Residency Pay. Medical residents are paid, according to the University of Alabama. As of 2011, residents with the University of Alabama earn between $45,443 and $54,915 a year, or between $3,786.92 and $4,576.25 a month. Pay depends on where the student is completing his residency training. Residents with the University of California, for instance, earn $48,259 in their first year.
Of note, the three top-paying resident specialties are only in the middle of the pack of salaries for established physicians, according to Medscape's Physician Compensation Report 2015. The average resident earned $52,000 in the first year, with salaries increasing to a high of $66,000 by the seventh year.ell over one third (37%) of residents have over $200,000 in debt, and over one fifth (22%) have $100,000-$200,000. Another 9% have $50,000-$99,999, and 10% have less than $50,000. A fortunate 22% of residents have no debt. Medical school debt does not change much over the course of the residency period.
